Nursing Homes & Retirement Villages

With an increasing number of people aged over 65, there is a growing demand for residential care.

Residential care is provided at two levels: low level care (hostel) or high level care (nursing homes). Usually a potential resident will have a bundle of documents that could include a residential agreement, an accommodation bond agreement, an accommodation charge agreement or even an extra services agreement.
